Anyone who has paid close attention to
FACTS.... knows that Donnie has been a con man all his life, and his run for the Oval Office was just his biggest con yet.
A week or two ago I noted how
EASILY humans can be conned. Some people felt that wasn't the case.... that people actually
FELT THAT WAY, and weren't actually conned.
Here is an updated piece on "Theranos". This is a company that, with great fanfare, declared that they were changing the medical test industry..... and that they were able to test for a whole range of diseases and deficiencies with a new testing device that only required just a small amount of blood. In fact..... George Shultz (former Secretary of State) and Henry Kissinger (former member of the Nixon administration) were sucked in to the Theranos con.
This will show you how easily people were conned by Elizabeth Holmes. And how Donnie continues his political con to this day.
https://www.cbsnews.com/video/the-theranos-elizabeth-holmes-deception/Theranos took in at least $900 million dollars of investors money (Betsy chipped in a cool $100 mill).
But I encourage you to
WATCH THE CLIP from the 60 minutes piece that just aired. It is quite "gobsmacking" as to how easily people.....even
SMART PEOPLE.... can be conned. But it takes a good
CON ARTIST. Someone who can "really sell the idea."
People "see" what
THEY WANT TO SEE. People "hear" what
THEY WANT TO HEAR. With Theranos, people wanted to believe that the cost of testing could come down AND the investors could make a killing, even as they helped to bring something very good for society to market.
People who were conned by Donnie,
WANTED TO BELIVE THAT TAX CUTS WOULD HELP THE ECONOMY..... THAT GETTING THE IMMIGRANTS OUT WOULD HELP THE US JOB MARKET..... THAT DONNIE WAS GOING TO WORK HARD AND NOT TAKE VACATIONS AND PLAY GOLF. People
WANTED to believe those things, so they were
VERY susceptible to being conned. And conned they were indeed.
Just as Donnie has conned a good chunk of America (and Canada:) ...... Donnie continues the con, just as the CEO strung out her con, even she was questioned about whether her product actually worked.
You will also notice, if you watch the clip, that she and her company used many of the
VERY SAME TACTICS that Donnie and his team uses: Bullying, intimidation, belittling, etc.
Joe Biden was also "conned" by Theranos. In the short article below, it describes how "the lab was staged" when Biden visited. Just as Donnie has "staged" many of his con's over the years and decades. Donnie does this all the time.
